you get the government you vote for, that you deserve and this is the government you have. if you oppose the republicans in the senate for reaching this agreement, your recourse is to replace those members. host: going back to your comments about the president paused use of drones and how he fights the war on terror -- guest: every president has said he is facing problems that his predecessors did not have to face and that is why he is asking for more power. three people have to be highly skeptical of that. drones an important technology. they are not so vastly different nor is the war on terror so vastly different as to excuse the creation of an imperial presidency. this president, at least his administration, has said they will reserve the right to do drone strikes in countries that are posed to them. the american people dismiss the concerns are countries that raise his objections. we can debate whether pakistan is probably saying they want grown attacks but publicly they have denounced them. these are acts of war under any definition. we cannot believe that, as a country

, the state government, local government, to get money for your non profit. host: the congressman can clarify his business background. background nonprofits guest: my background is in the private sector. i started two for-profit companies that are public companies and are creating jobs. i also started a nonprofit in maryland called blueprint maryland, it was designed to help put forth a plan to help maryland both the economy and make it more competitive. it was organized as a nonprofit. all the funding for it came from myself, did not take money from anyone to start a nonprofit. the point of the non-profit was to look at the competitive situation of maryland. maryland is a state that is overly dependent on federal spending. it is the third most dependent state in the country from an economic standpoint on federal spending if you look at job creation. it is my view that the future holds reduced federal spending as a percentage of our economy. so that is a threat to maryland. i wanted to organize an effort to help look at that situation and come up with ideas t

they believe in government by gimmicks. and this, you know, no budget, no pay bill is another gimmick. let's kind of play this out. what their bill says is if the house doesn't pass a budget bill by april 15, we don't get paid. if the senate doesn't pass a budget by bill -- bill by april 15, they don't get paid. i'm sure they have the votes to ram whatever they want through the house of representatives and i'm sure they'll bring us yet another budget bill that has another extreme, excessive spending cuts and programs that benefit the middle class and poor they brought before us last year. i think they will bring a bill to the floor. let's say the senate does bring a budget bill to the floor and they pass it. this bill does not require that there be a conference report that is voted on by both the house and the senate as a condition to whether or not members get paid. so, again, this is not a solution. what this is is more political gamesmanship. you pass something in the house and maybe totally irrecognize seibel, something

how the people not read their history on this government there? a lot of people were killed for the same reasons we are criticizing the syrian government for. there are a lot of things they should have covered that they did not cover. if we do not cover it we will be drawn into something nobody will like. host: that was john from virginia. from twitter -- here is the front page of "the wall street journal." if you look at the jump peace, here. "the new york times" -- here is more from the secretary yesterday. [video clip] >> for me it is not just policy, it is personal. i stood next to president obama as the marines carried the flag draped caskets off of the plane at andrews. i put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children. it has been one of the grade honors of my life to lead the men and women of the state department and u.s. a id. nearly 70,000 serving here in washington, more than 270 posts around the world, they get up and go to work every day oft
